Linzey S. Corridon is a poet and nonfiction writer, a Vanier Canada Scholar, and an educator. Born and raised in the Caribbean multi-island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, he now resides in Canada.

Linzey’s research focuses on the experiences of queer Caribbean (Queeribbean) peoples. Working across Caribbean Studies, Policy Studies, Gender and Sexuality, Queer Theory, Literary Criticism and Digital Humanities, his doctoral research interrogates failing discourses on the nature of West Indian queerness. His body of scholarship is preoccupied with asking readers to rethink how we come to understand the quotidian as it relates to Queeribbean places and peoples. West of West Indian is his first book project. A finalist for the 2025 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature (poetry category) and the 2025 Caricon Prize for Literature, the project was also named one of the best Canadian poetry collections of 2024 by the CBC.
